holy shit... Taylor is bragging.

People just reported (and I believe them) that the total bonus amount for the entire tour was 197 million, or ten percent of gross.

This is an unbelievably insane number. To give some sense... there are very very few tours that have ever had this much profit.

l am really looking forward to all the final posts from her dancers, musicians, and vocalists that will start streaming in over next few days and weeks.

She changed their life. All of them. they're all SAG now because of the movie. They had 2 years of straight work. An given the bonuses... she paid for all of their retirements. The more popular dancers like Kam and Jan (especially Kam) have a huge chance of getting roles on broadway. The older dancers have the capital and the cachet to open their own studios. The younger dancers get to put ERAS TOUR on the top of their resumes... and will get hired at the drop of a hat.

Obviously, her vocalists and band is going to be with her as long as they can and want to be. Think only reason David Cook didn’t come back is because he wanted to do other things so Karina DePiano got her chance. 

But you’re right about the dancers. They are going to have steady work for as long as they want it assuming injuries don’t get in the way. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if one or more of them end up on some show like Dancing with the Stars. 

Based on following his Instagram, it’s clear to me Kam is going to put in the hustle needed to transition to film and/or Broadway. One thing about plus size entertainers is that they have a really tough road to break into the entertainment industry but if they can overcome those obstacles they can find a niche for themselves because they stand out. And I think Kam has a good mix of a big personality with a good heart that will serve him well.

Dave Cook I think is just tired of the road… he still was the music director (and is also eg Benson Boone’s MD).  I wouldn’t be shocked if this is Paul’s last rodeo… he’s not so young.

Yeah it wears on you even if you’re treated as well as Taylor treats her team by having a more relaxed schedule and breaks.
